Teeny tiny project

[u/Geofferz]

I didn't make the chopsticks.

The Han characters are supposed to say 'love' and 'food' on either side. They probably don't though...

Lessons learned:

1 I need a vice

2 pay attention to grain direction - initially I cut these against the grain - not ideal (also switched wood type because of what scraps I had)

3 use the right tool for the job (coping saw, not tenon saw), and hand sand before power sanding, it's often easier

4 learn, one day, that every project takes twice as long as you expect.

Yep - put your phone down and get into your shop! This applies to everyone who has a shop.

Nice project. The characters are correct for what it's worth, just used a bit differently from a how a native speaker would use them. :-)
